twinBASIC's Capabilities: Far Beyond VB6
At first glance, VB6 and twinBASIC appear nearly identical.
After all, one of twinBASIC's primary goals is 100% backward compatibility with VB6. But that doesn't mean VB6 is 100% compatible with twinBASIC.

Visio VBA alternative is progressing (twinBASIC)
A Visio VBA alternative, twinBASIC, has made a lot of progress in the past 12 months.

A self-sign cert that expired? Oh heavens!
So just to be clear, http links (no s) are now categorically banned on VBForums? Since those trigger those same warnings?
It's probably pretty benign, but it is getting flagged by AV software...which also isn't all that uncommon. Still, anything that gets flagged in that way is certainly 'proceed at your own risk'.
Browsers and AV software have been implementing policies where they throw up those warnings for plain http, hence my question.

Access DevCon Vienna
The conference takes place virtually in Microsoft Teams on April 18+19, 2024.
All content is in English.
Mike Wolfe of nolongerset.com is presenting another twinBASIC session at this years Access DevCon (April 18th - 19th).
"Custom Add-In Creation with twinBASIC: Tailoring Your VBA IDE to Your Workflow"
In this year's session, you'll experience:
• A brief update on new features and the status of twinBASIC.
• A real-world application of twinBASIC, creating an MZ-Tools-style VBA IDE add-in.
• Installing and using the add-in on other machines.

I stumbled across a few references on a popular Japanese forum to TwinBasic: https://qiita.com/search?q=twinbasic
I posted a link to one of them a while back on the TwinBasic Discord server, but thought I'd add it to this thread in case anyone is interested.

10Tec have just launched the first commercial ActiveX control built with the twinBASIC programming language.
The 10Tec iGrid control is a feature-rich ActiveX grid control which provides developers with a lightweight and easy-to-use ActiveX grid.
https://10tec.com/articles/64-bit-ocx-grid.aspx
10Tec lead developer Igor Ketenov says "The VB6 source code of iGrid was converted to the twinBASIC project format and adapted to support both the 32-bit and 64-bit CPU architectures. We needed to convert and test declarations and calls for more than 200 Windows API functions and COM interfaces, and this work has been successfully done. twinBASIC with constant support of Wayne Phillips, the developer of this IDE, allowed us to compile the new version of iGrid for 32 and 64 bits!"
The 10Tec iGrid control is a first-class OCX grid control for VB6, twinBASIC and VBA that can be used in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows, in 32-bit and 64-bit applications including Microsoft Office.
I used to test the iGrid control. It's very powerful, but its performance seems to be low (almost a tenth of the Fapoint spread). I once tried to load 5000 rows (maybe 50000 rows) of data with iGrid and it took a long time and almost ran out of computer memory. I don't know if the performance of the 64-bit iGrid has been improved. If that's the case, congratulations to iGrid, and congratulations to twinBasic.
I don't know about now but once optimized compiling is finished... it's partially implemented now and where it can be used (32bit code without strings, variants, classes, or interfaces; it can switched on function by function), it's been obliterating VB in performance, sometimes by a factor of hundreds or more.
64bit will definitely help with the memory though, as it allows more than 2-4GB to be addressed.

Anyone who wants to quickly program a Windows application with a user interface (or without one) can still fall back on their good old Visual Basic 6 knowledge – with its successor, twinBASIC.

Coreldraw plug on twinbasic like vb6,*.cpg plugin for coreldraw
Please don't spam the forum with links to questions already asked. If there are no answers, there are no answers.
links,This is very important.
The problem has been solved in the article I sent.I'm not here to ask anyone. Almost no one here will watch it, and I just publish it as a news or a major feature.
The VBA addin, writing plugins, this is a great innovation.If it can also support coreldraw and AutoCAD, it can be extended to the mainstream VBA system authorized by Microsoft.
The situation is that Microsoft has basically stopped licensing VBA.
If the company can develop an alternative version to provide a new VBA environment to 100 or 10000 enterprises around the world, so that each software can add programming functions.
Anything that is just a replacement for bb6 is not the biggest selling point, the most important thing is to allow enterprises to allow more other third-party software to access it as an interface.
Sure, you can ask them to do that, but don't go linking from one thread to another thread just to increase the exposure.
